In the case of a system with Citrix XenApp 6.5 installed, the iexplore.exe executable that DM finds and chooses to use is “C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\system32\iexplore.exe”. My best technical explanation for this problem, based solely on observing the behavior, is that in the absence of a full path in the launch method location field, eDOCS DM will search the system folders for an executable with a name that matches that in the location field.

the application handling VSD files) by browsing to the 64-bit version of iexplore.exe at “C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe”. The resolution is to modify the launch method in Library Maintenance for the file type in question (ex. The Citrix “iexplore.exe” executable is necessary for content redirection. The problem appears to be due to the presence of another “iexplore.exe” executable that is part of Citrix XenApp 6.5 and is located in “C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\system32\iexplore.exe”. The problem only occurs when the launch method’s location field in Library Maintenance contains only the “iexplore.exe” value and not the full path to “C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe” (for 64-bit IE 10+). In this scenario, when a user double-clicks a Visio document in DM Extensions Explorer, Internet Explorer is launched to open the document, but the user receives a “file not found” message and the document does not open.

A problem arises in Citrix when Internet Explorer (iexplore.exe) is specified as a launch method for a file type in OpenText eDOCS DM and the full path to the executable is not specified.įor example, assume that Microsoft Visio Viewer 2010 or Visio Viewer 2013 is installed on a Citrix server and Internet Explorer is set as the launch method in Library Maintenance for opening Visio VSD files.
